Social Dilemma lectures on video!

Nash Equilibrium

I have added a section on John Nash and the "Nash Equilibrium" in the essay on Social Dilemmas. While doing this, I added a new game (as in "Game Theory"), "The Traveler's Dilemma", that illustrates the difficulties.

My latest essay is about "justice" in the U.S.A. or the lack thereof

. It is called "The Devil is in the Details: The Forfeiture Example of American 'Justice'" and is an easy read.

Latest "Pearl of Wisdom" discovered:

"There are no tyrants, there are only slaves." -- Anselme Bellegarrigue (from an article by Arthur Lehning in *Dictionary of the History of Ideas*, Volume 1, "Anarchism".) Also see Bibliothéque Libertaire, for the quote in French, which translates (per Google) to: "You believed so far that there were tyrants? And well! you were mistaken, it has only slaves there where no one does not obey, nobody orders."
